Let's take your music to the next level — whether you need polished mixes or full-scale production, I've got you covered.

01 · About me20+ years in

Twenty years in the music industry.

With 20+ years in the industry — on the road with Mogwai, The Hives, Pulp, and Echo & the Bunnymen, and in the studio with independent artists making their most important records — I've spent my career inside music at every level.

That background shapes how I work. I know what a polished record sounds like because I've been surrounded by them. I know what artists actually need because I've been one. Whether you're bringing me in for a full production or a mix, the goal is always the same: a record that sounds exactly how it should.

02 · The workselected records

Expressive, raw, a little bit gritty.

I work hard to turn artistic concepts into polished, compelling records. I love the more expressive and raw rock subgenres — from the emotive depths of folk-infused singer-songwriter to the electric buzz of gritty indie rock, garage, shoegaze and beyond, into the intricate layers of alt-rock experimentation.

04 · Add me to your teama partner, not a service

From the rehearsal room to pressed vinyl.

Imagine taking your music from the raw energy of the rehearsal room all the way to the tangible grooves of a pressed vinyl.

As your producer or mixing engineer, I join your creative journey as a dedicated partner, not just a service provider. My approach means deeply engaging with each aspect of your project, so every decision aligns with and enhances your artistic vision.

Together we'll refine your arrangements, making sure each element serves the song and amplifies its emotional impact. The process is collaborative and tailored — designed to tune into your specific needs and translate your ideas into a polished, impactful sound.
